After first setting up my dog walking business in Emersons Green, I needed to find some places to go. Then I stumbled on this fantastic little place !
Snuff Mills is a doggie paradise, with places to swim, lots of woodlands to sniff and paths to explore.
The car park is pay and display and there is a lovely little coffee/snack shop to get you started. Upon entering the park is the famous Snuff Mill, complete with landscaped gardens (dogs need to be on the lead in this small part). Next to the old mill is the stunning weir which the River Frome flows, just after you can let the dogs run free. Follow the river along, where there are plenty of excellent spots for dog swimming opportunities and woodland to explore.
Snuff Mills is part of the Frome Valley Walkway, so you can walk to Oldbury Court Estate very easily from here – just follow the River Frome! If feeling adventurous, you can even walk to Eastville Park and Frenchay Moor.
One of my other favourite routes to do is from Lincombe Barn to Snuff Mills. You can enter in from the park side of the woods, walk over the bridge and along the river following the signs to Oldbury Court and Snuffs Mills. On a sunny day this is a glorious walk to do with a dog, following the river which is always teeming with wildlife.
